Dominic Thiem is also through to face Tomas Berdych after beating Jared Donaldson 7-5, 6-4, 6-2. That’s all from me today. Thanks for reading, commenting and emailing. See you again on the day I’m contractually obliged to call Manic Monday.

Clarke and Willis are a game away from beating Herbert and Mahut. They lead 5-2 in the fifth. The atmosphere on Court 3 is electric. Less so on Centre Court, where assorted lickspittles are absolutely delighted to be in the presence of King Roger.

Roger Federer wins the second set to lead 7-6, 6-4!

Zverev punches a return into the umpire’s chair. The easily pleased Centre Court crowd reckon it’s the funniest they’ve ever seen. Zverev responds by charging to 15-30, but Federer slaps an ace past him for 30-all and earns a set point when the German mistimes a forehand into the net. A simple forehand does the trick for Federer.

Away from Centre Court, I can hear huge cheers. That’s because British men’s doubles pair Jay Clarke and Marcus Willis have three match points in the fourth set against the No2 seeds, Nicolas Mahut and Pierre Hugues-Herbert. Well, well. They lead 3-6, 6-1, 7-6, 5-4, with the French pair serving to stay in it.

Federer is utterly determined to lob Zverev here. It’s a good way to mess with his net game. Zverev nets a volley to give up a break point, but Federer growls as he watches a forehand return sail wide. The German holds, but Federer leads 7-6, 3-2.

Mischa Zverev’s cap just fell off during a point. We call that Doing A Murray. Federer doesn’t mind. A few points later, he flashes a backhand pass down the line for 30-40. Zverev saves it with an ace. But Federer continues to push, a forehand pass earning another chance. This time, he capitalises. Zverev tees him up, Federer thrashes a drive volley away to break and lead 7-6, 2-1.

Roger Federer wins the first set 7-6 (3)!

Just as he did when they met in Halle, Federer has enough in the tie-break. Zverev has really forced the issue since hauling himself level midway through the set, but accuracy was key for Federer in the tie-break. He plants a volley out of reach for three set points. Zverev serves and volleys. But Federer rams a backhand at the German, who blocks long, much to the great man’s relief.

I’ve seen Federer play better than this. Two scratchy errors gift Zverev a 0-30 lead at 5-all. But he glides to 30-all and then wins a whip-sharp volleying exchange at the net, his final effort looping and hanging in the air before dropping just inside the line. The game goes to deuce, however, Zverev knocking on the door. Zverev fancies this. An 85mph second serve offers him the chance to attack. He does so with a backhand to earn a break point, but Federer saves it with an ace down the middle and eventually clings on to lead 6-5. On Court 1, meanwhile, Dominic Thiem has won four straight games to take the first set 7-5 against Jared Donaldson.

After two straight games for Mischa Zverev, Roger Federer holds to love to lead 5-4. There was a moment when one of his forehands was called long, but Federer shot the offending line judge a dirty look and she’s been carted off to the re-education centre. She’ll learn.

Mischa Zverev did hold his opening service game, which is an improvement on the Australian Open, when he was 0-5 down to Federer after around three seconds. But now he’s a break down. Two superb backhands from Federer, then a forehand pass that drops just inside the line. Zverev left it and turned back in dismay. Federer holds with a lovely volley for 4-1.

On Centre Court, Roger Federer and Moscha Zverev have arrived. I’m going to see if the wifi’s any use there this evening. Federer, remember, crushed Zverev in Melbourne and beat him in Halle last month.

Novak Djokovic beats Ernests Gulbis 6-4, 6-1, 7-6!

Djokovic roars a few times just to keep himself alert and awake, but his bellowing feels a little out of place given the tepid atmosphere in the stands. Gulbis wallops his umpteenth forehand long to give Djokovic five match points. Gulbis saves the first with an ace. He knocks a forehand wide on the second. Djokovic is through to face the French left-hander Adrian Mannarino and the truth is that he’s not really been tested yet.

There’s no romance on Court 2. Sebastian Ofner battled hard and produced some good tennis at times, but the Austrian qualifier was always fighting a losing battle against Alexander Zverev, who’s through to face Milos Raonic after winning 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.

Now it’s Caroline Wozniacki’s turn to serve for the match. And she makes a rather better fist of it than Anett Kontaveit despite finding herself down 15-30. Kontaveit whistles a backhand wide by an inch and Wozniacki has a match point. But having already saved one in the previous game, Kontaveit saves this one with a backhand down the line. Wozniacki gets another one; Kontaveit saves it with another backhand winner. Third time lucky? Yep! Wozniacki hits a backhand deep. It’s not called out. Kontaveit thinks it might be. It’s really not, Anett. So it ends here. Caroline Wozniacki is through to face Coco Vandeweghe after winning 3-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2. That was gritty.

Anett Kontaveit burned so brightly for much of the first two sets, but now she has all the shine of Donald Trump’s Hollywood star. It’s Caroline Wozniacki who’s making all the running. A Kontaveit error gifts her two break points and she constructs the next point beautifully before lofting a backhand down the line to lead 3-6, 7-6, 4-1.

For a man who’d never played on grass before this tournament, Sebastian Ofner’s not disgracing himself at all on Court 2. Unfortunately he’s two sets down. Alex Zverev leads 6-4, 6-4 and he’s inching closer to a fourth-round match against Milos Raonic.

Novak Djokovic wins the second set 6-4; he leads 6-4, 6-1!

Undeterred, Kontaveit wallops two backhands away for 0-30. Then she whistles a superb forehand down the line for 0-40. It’s her 26th winner. She can’t convert any of those three break points, but she earns a fourth with an Ostapaneko-esque forehand. This time, she makes Wozniacki pay. More patient, she works the point cleverly. A backhand from left to right pulls Wozniacki out of position and allows her to punch a backhand down the line. She’ll serve for the match again.

Here’s Anett Kontaveit serving for the match. She begins with a backhand thwack for 15-0. But the game goes to 30-all and Wozniacki, with deep hitting, forces a break point. And sure enough, Wozniacki breaks back for 5-all in the second set!
